Here is a VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1956 "CHET BAKER & CREW" on PACIFIC JAZZ, PJ-1224.
THIS CAME FROM A RECENT ESTATE SALE OF AN ELDERLY MAN WHO WORKED PASSED AWAY, I WAS FIRST TO GO THROUGH HIS RECORD COLLECTION & CHERRY PICKED IT. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS IS BEING OFFERED PUBLICLY! I'M NOT A RECORD DEALER OR COLLECTOR, THOUGH I DID COLLECT RECORDS FOR MANY YEARS IN MY YOUTH AND AM ABLE TO HONESTLY EVALUATE RECORDS. I DON'T OWN A RECORD PLAYER, SO I CAN'T TEST ANY FROM THIS SMALL COLLECTION, BUT ALL APPEAR IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, I ONLY GOT THE ONES THAT APPEARED IN GREAT CONDITION.

If you're looking at this you probably know how rare this 12" record is. The record is not marked as Stereo or Mono, just High Fidelity, but I assume it's in Mono. The record center label is black with silver print, this shows up as white in my photo because of camera flash. The label is marked as 33 1/3 RPM & Microgroove. It is Copyright dated 1956 at the bottom of the back cover. The record appears to only have been played a couple of times on side 2 & probably only once on side 1, this is because on side 2 you can see a couple of very faint marks where the spindle touched it, this shows up against the flat black label. The record is in excellent condition- no visible scratches or wear. The cover is in good condition. The front cover displays very nicely- no white marks from wear, just very nominal surface wear near the top, middle & bottom. There is corner wear to all 4 corners, a tiny 1/2" chipping of the surface paper at the lower right corner with a very fine 1 3/4" split there. There is a 2" split at the very bottom center edge from the LP cutting into it. There is a 1/4" edge wear mark at top center area edge and a couple of very light edge marks. The bottom left edge has light wear near corner. The back side has a 3/4" dull area that is light- see photo. See photo for song titles. The LP is in a vintage, non-original plain white paper sleeve. I will keep the record out of the cover now & when mailing, both will be protected. I am shipping in a nice home-made cardboard box. If you have any questions whatsoever ask before bidding, especially if you're using a Snipe program. I may take bid from overseas, send me an email for that.

Album notes Personnel: Chet Baker (vocals, trumpet); Phil Urso (tenor saxophone); Bobby Timmons (piano); Jimmy Bond (bass); Peter Littman (drums); Bill Loughbrough (tympani).
Recorded at the Forum Theater, Los Angeles, California on July 24, 25 & 31, 1956. Includes original liner notes by Woody Woodward.
This astounding live set was recorded with Chet Baker's regularly touring ensemble at the Forum Theater in Los Angeles in 1956, after the trumpeter's return from an extensive European tour. The group is incredibly in sync and agile on the many intricate arrangements. Of special note is the presence of percussionist Bill Loughbrough who contributes three performances on his unusual chromatic tympani, or "boobams," which are his own invention.
Baker is self-assured and in excellent form here, blowing many fine solos in his classic "cool" style. Tenor man Phil Urso and pianist Bobby Timmons are in equally good form, supporting Baker with flawless precision and taste. Baker's only vocal performance comes on the Gerry Mulligan original "Line For Lyons." Other notable cuts include Mulligan's "Revelation," the Latin-esque "To Mickey's Memory," and Al Cohn's swinging "Music to Dance By." Taken as a whole, this set is a nice snapshot of Baker in performance at the peak of his early popularity.
